Rob Richie has this essay at Election Law Blog, describing some of the efforts by major parties to either boost or damage various minor party presidential campaigns.

During the morning of election day, Saratoga County, New York polling places had a sign saying, “Please note: No Write-ins are allowed for this election. If you choose to write in the name of a candidate, it will be considered a blank vote and will not be counted.”
When an attorney for the Green Party complained, the county Board of Elections said they realize that was a mistake and that the signs had been removed.
Dixville Notch is famous for holding elections between midnight and 1 a.m. on election day, so the results are always known before the rest of the U.S. votes. Each New Hampshire town sets its own voting hours.
The town has six registered voters, four Republicans and two independents. The vote was 3 for Donald Trump and 3 for Kamala Harris. See this story.
The Guam Election Commission has released election returns. For president, the vote is:
Harris, Democratic, 13,510
Trump, Republician, 12,624
Kennedy, independent, 938
Stein, Green, 119
Sonski, American Solidarity, 45
Stodden, Socialist, 44
Wood, Prohibition, 34.
This year, Georgia and Ohio ballots have presidential candidates on them, for whom votes will not be counted. This has never happened before in any state in the United States. In Georgia, after the ballots were printed, the State Supreme Court said the petitions for Claudia De la Cruz and Cornel West were invalid. In Ohio, after the ballots were printed, the Secretary of State said Jill Stein had accidentally withdrawn. So, in both states, voters will see names on the ballot but if they vote for those names, their vote won’t be counted.
